Chris and I had a few mutual friends and even went to the same high school but we had no clue that one another existed until we were much older. We met through a mutual friend in 2015 but I paid Chris no mind, didn't even say hello. Christopher thought I was so rude and told our friend that he really didn't like me! We didn't see each other again for another 2 years, then one day I received a Facebook notification. Chris had "loved" three of my pictures online. Normally I would have have ignored the react but for some reason I felt compelled to reach out to him, I wasn't sure what to say so I pretended I didn't remember him to initiate a conversation. From the first message there was an instant connection between us. We talked all day, everyday about history, food, childhood experiences. Through this conversation Olivia and I realized that we had lived near each other almost our entires lives, even though we both moved around as kids we still managed to live only a few streets over from each other. It was almost as if we lived the same life. These commonalities quickly turned a friendship into something more. We weren't sure what we were evolving into but the feelings were deep and we'd simply say "I'm not on forever with you but I want to enjoy the time we have together. On January 14th 2018 we became an official couple, then in March 2019 we welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Levi. Since we met, our connection has been nothing short of magnetic as if we were designed for one another. Despite our initial hesitation of dating we fell deeply in love and haven't gotten up since. January 18, 2025 on our 7th anniversary Christopher began another chapter in our story when he asked me to marry him. I love you L.B, welcome to forever.
